An Erie County family farm dating to the 1800s with its own hard-cider taproom, currently selling u-pick blackberries and flowers — but 2026 apple picking dates and pricing hadn't been posted at the time of research.
Burnham Orchards is located at 8019 State Route 113 E in Berlin Heights, Erie County, on Ohio’s Lake Erie shore. The record describes it as a family farm dating to the 1800s, open daily from 9am to 6pm. What sets it apart from most other orchards in this dataset is a genuine hard-cider taproom on site, called RedHead Hard Cider, alongside a more typical on-site cider mill, bakery (Grandma Bea’s Bakery, per the research notes), farm tours, u-pick blackberries, and u-pick flowers.
Most orchards in this dataset that mention cider are talking about the non-alcoholic, apple-pressed kind sold by the cup or gallon. Burnham Orchards is different: it runs its own hard-cider taproom, RedHead Hard Cider, confirmed directly from the orchard’s own site. That’s a meaningful draw for adult visitors specifically, and it’s worth building a visit around even independent of the apple-picking calendar, since a taproom presumably operates on its own schedule rather than being tied strictly to when apples are ripe.
As of this research, the farm’s own site confirmed it was actively selling u-pick blackberries and cut flowers. For apples specifically, the record notes that third-party coverage expected Honeycrisp to ripen mid-to-late September, but that date is not confirmed by the orchard’s own site. The site did reference a “2026 Vendors” section and past fall festivals from 2022 through 2025, which suggests an annual fall event exists in some form, but it hadn’t posted 2026 apple u-pick dates, pricing, or a full variety list by the time it was read (August 29, 2026).
Corn maze and scarecrow-making activities appear in older write-ups about Burnham Orchards, according to the record, but these are described as recurring fall features rather than something confirmed on the current site for 2026. If either of those is a reason you’re considering a visit, it’s worth checking directly rather than assuming they’ll repeat automatically — the record can only confirm what’s currently live on the site, which as of this research was blackberries and flowers, not a maze or scarecrow event.
The 1800s origin date, combined with the bakery and taproom additions, paints Burnham Orchards as a farm that has built out multiple generations’ worth of offerings on top of its original orchard business. That’s a useful frame for understanding why this record shows so many different activities and amenities (bakery, taproom, blackberries, flowers, farm tours) even though the core apple-season information remains unconfirmed for 2026.
Burnham Orchards has real, currently-confirmed attractions — blackberries, flowers, farm tours, a bakery, and a hard-cider taproom — plus a long history on Ohio’s Lake Erie shore. What it doesn’t yet offer, as of this research, is a confirmed 2026 apple-picking date, price, or full variety list, and the fall-festival extras from past years (corn maze, scarecrow-making) aren’t confirmed to be returning. Call 419-588-2138 to check current apple status, especially if a specific weekend or the fall festival is what’s drawing you there.
